Since 2009, we have developed software that helps our customers build exceptional workforces that are engaged and inclusive,” Fabio Ronga, beqom CEO and co-founder, said in a statement. “We are thrilled to partner together with Sumeru to build a global standard for total compensation management. We feel strongly that Sumeru is the right fit as an investor, bringing not only capital but proven expertise and a perfect match in company cultures.”
